This review is going to be a little different than my normal fare. Today, I’m taking a look at a copy of We Do What We Want Issue One from Holy Mountain Printing. We Do What We Want is not necessarily a comic book and according to its own solicitation text, if I call it a “just a magazine” that would be an insult. This magazine is available for $18.00 at select local comic shops and record stores across the U.S. (scroll to the bottom of this article for a list) and online at HolyMountainPrinting.com.

Welcome back, everybody, to my read through DC’s premiere Bat Event for 2020, The Joker War! I’m continuing to take a look at each issue, including tie-ins, and assessing the Joker’s damage during this all-out war for Gotham-wide control! I’m adding each review to the master Joker War Reading Order and assessing which issues are essential and what tie-ins you can leave out if you like.

Dark Nights Death Metal Legends of the Dark Knights is probably the comic with the longest name this week and probably the one most talked about. It has the first appearance of Robin King inside (depending on how you look at it) and some background on a lot of Batman Who Laugh’s Dark Knights. If you were expecting full on origin stories for each Dark Knight, this book delivers with varying degrees of success. Some of the stories are only two pages long, after all.

This review continues my painful read through Snyder and Capullo’s latest DC Event, Dark Nights Death Metal. Check out my review of issue #1 here. I’ll get this conclusion out and clear from the very beginning. Dark Nights Death Metal #2 is a convoluted mess of a comic that seems to have little interest in even trying to get the reader to take it seriously or build interest in it.

This article arises from a discussion I had last night with Anthony over at comicsheatingup.net. We were discussing whether House of Secrets 92 or Swamp Thing #1 was truly Swamp Thing’s first appearance. An easy question right? House of Secrets 92 was published first! Not so clear as we’ll see.

All-America Comix #1 is a frustrating book. It’s enjoyable in its own right, but frustrating. At first glance, you think this book is a standalone America Chavez book from Marvel. And you’d be half –er 33%– right. Upon closer inspection, the book is of course an Image comics release, but written by Joe Casey, America’s original creator from Marvel’s 2011 Vengeance.

To anybody paying attention to comics right now, it’s no secret that Al Ewing is having banner year, maybe year and a half to two years! His Immortal Hulk is one of the most well-received and acclaimed takes on the Big Green Meanie in recent memory and hot on the heels of that success, Marvel has handed him the reigns to this year’s event, Empyre!

Snyder and Capullo’s Dark Nights Metal was a non-stop warpath through the DC Universe and it’s multiple parallel universes. It required a masters degree in DC literature, and even then you felt a little left out if you couldn’t quite remember every story beat from the past twenty years. The whole thing felt like it required an annotated edition complete with footnotes.
